LAPD investigating videotaped Taser injury

LOS ANGELES 
Police are investigating a videotaped confrontation in which a Los Angeles officer used a Taser stun gun to subdue an apparently intoxicated man who then fell and was seriously injured.

Police announced the investigation Monday.

Authorities say two officers responded to a report of a drunk man shouting racial epithets and threats in Hollywood early Sunday. Officers told the man to leave but he refused, threatened the officers and became aggressive.

Officer Chris Craig used a stun gun while Officer Peter Kim tried to hit him in the back. The man fell over and his head hit the curb. A three-minute video of the confrontation has been posted on YouTube.
